Family of Football

The Family of Football presents a collection of photographs. My work tell stories of a social life, of realism, selective randomness and the passage of time. Featuring a range of black and white photographs that explores the norm of technically correct images to the more extreme and personal ad-hoc and haphazard. It brings in question realism in portrait documentary and experiments with the concept of non-portrait photography. The Family of Football is a personal study of the community that exists within the Football Club Whitley Bay FC and was shot over a period of 6 months.
